SAVES OVER $2,000,000
The Internal resources of the west are
called to notice by the experience of the
government in connection with tne build'
inj of the irigation dam on Salt river,
for the Tonto basin reclamation project
it wa found that 22,000 barrels of
cement would be required for the immense
dam. As the dam Is' located 62 (mi!es
from a railroad, the -question of cement
was a serious one, but it was discovered
that it was possible to make excellent
cement at the dam site, and a mill was
established at that point, which is now in
operation. By adopting th.s plan over
$2,000,000 was saved in the cost of the
improvement So elsewhere throughout
in west there are immense economic
opportunities which only await the crea
tion of a demand sufficient to ' justify
cipital in making the developments re
quired to make the raw material avail-

00 YEARS AGO
The two hundredth anniverta-y of
Ben amin Franklin will be on Jan. 1 7th.
Tnat day should be observed all over the
United States, for he was the greatest.
all around man, America has ever pro
duced. ' The Observer suggasts that our
schools take up the history of Franklin
and from now until Jan. 17th. make a
daily study of his life, character and the
great work be performed, and useful
thought he gave for the elevation of man.
Let every boy and girl be required to
write a composition on Franklin, and to
encourage them, where possible, a suita
ble prize or certificate of merit be glvan
to the best in each school.
W. J. Lachner, an active attorney and
prominent Republican of Baker county,
his announced himself a Candida's for
congress, t.ircugh the Baker C.ty Herald.
Our forests in the past have been
valuable resources and will continue to te
for many decides. To illustrate, a few
weeks ago the Grande Ronde Lumber
company commenced on a body of timber
as large as their combined annual cuts
for the pist fifteen years.
Whatever maybe said of the success
of New Zealand s socialistic government
thj New Zealanders seem to 1 ke it.

the island resulted 'in an overwhelming
victory for the administration of , Piemier

The idea1 that the hold over ser.a'ors

as they may express thoir desires for
United States Senator, is not well founded.
They are morally bound to , tha same ex
tent as those who are to be elected next
June. If any of them think the people do
not entertain this view let them become
candidates for re-election.' The leg'sla-

ing time and it profitable, too, to look
after marketing his own stuj without
etting the middlemen do it for him. - Co
operatively farmers can do this and save
to themselves a large share of -the earn
ings of the farm every year. This is just
so much profit. The next step for the
farmer to make is to meet with his neigh
bors at least'once a week for a couple of
hour and get in touch with each other's
advantage more definitely. Organization
at the school house will answer this last
purpose. This wuh the telephone and
rural delivery will make the chain corri
